忙得四脚朝天用英语怎么说Donny在北京学中文。
他的遥朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教他。
遥是杨琳要问的：忙。
Donny：Hi 杨琳，what's up?
I haven't seen you in ages.
YL: 别提了，我较近特别忙，I am really busy!
忙得四脚朝天，怎么说.
.
.
four feet up!
Donny: four feet up?
I can imagine.
But in English, we don't say that.
.
.
You can say I'm up to my neck in work.
YL: I'm up to my neck.
.
.
in work ?
工作太多，堆到和脖子一样高？
被工作压得喘不过气来。
这个说法太形象了!
还有别的吗？
Donny: There is another expression that also has to do with body parts.
It is I've got my hands full.
YL: I've got my hands full。
我明白了，就是说两手都没闲着。
Donny: Exactly.
Oh, I just thought of another one---I have a lot on my plate.
YL: I have a lot on my plate?
plate, p-l-a-t-e, plate 不是盘子么？
说盘子里有很多东西，那一定是.
.
.
忙着吃呢吧？
Donny: That's possible!
Anyway, when you say you have a lot on your plate, it means you're busy.
YL: 我知道了。
哎呀，我快迟到了，快，再教较后一个。
Donny: Okay, this one will be easier to remember-- I've got a million things to do!
YL: 太夸张了吧!
I've got a million things to do!
有一百万件事情等着我去做。
Donny: Right!
Now, Yang Lin, tell me what you've learned today!
YL: 遥学到的还真不少。
形容特别忙可以说，I'm up to my neck in work，工作堆到脖子了；I've got my hands full, 两手都占着呢；I have a lot on my plate，盘子里堆得满满的。
哎呀!
我得赶紧走人了，I've got a million things to do!
